You went to a Yeth an Werin in Helston on Saturday. You walked to the station and went by train to Truro but the train was full of people and you couldn t get a seat. In Truro you had to wait for the bus and it was very cold. On your way to the pub it started to snow. You bought a glass of red wine and a pasty before you joined the other Cornish speakers. There were about twelve of you and everyone was sitting round a very big table next to the fire. You chatted to Jenefer about her Cornish class, and later everyone sang songs in Cornish. You had a really good time but you had to go home at 8 o clock on the last bus. You will go to the next Yeth an Werin and hope Hykka will go too. Kesva an Taves Kernewek 0 a
